I have an HDTV and a computer with high speed internet. My computer is in a different room and is not near my HDTV. I've been told that I could buy a new blue-ray player that will have wi-fi capability and can stream movies from netflix. Is this correct or do I need something else in addition to the blue-ray player?

The blue ray player will stream movies either wirelessly or by wire connection , All you need is a wireless router. If you want to connect it to the computer then you will have to run a wire from the computer to the blue ray player. I don't know if you can connect the blue ray player to the computer by a wireless adaptor on the computer.

Thanks inzone. It would not be practical to run a wire from my desktop computer to where the HDTV is located.

Clearly you talked to a salesman. Never ask a salesman for advice with this sort of thing unless you enjoy spending too much money.

There's 101 ways to connect a computer to a TV, wired and wireless. Or you could buy a PS3, which is the same price as a BluRay player but has many more useful features and can still play BluRays.

I would recommend getting a google TV device actually. I have the Logitech Revue and I love it, but they stopped making it unfortunately. There's a version made by Sony that is practically exactly the same.
